Highland Park Twisted Tattoo 16 Year

A little spicy, with a touch of smoke and grapes on the palate. A little bit of sweetness, more likely from the wine and very flavorful; medium finish, not to much heat.

I had several Highland Park whiskies now and they have a special taste uniqueness that you definitely can taste in all of them. While this one is really nice as well, now that I had the 18y you don't really wanna go back to anything younger or the multiple NAS they have. They all have the typical HP note but the 18y just brings it all together much better. Until I have tasted something older than the 18y from HP I wouldn't really want to get or recommend something else. And if the price tag doesn't allow for the 18y I think the 12y is still the best alternative. I still haven't figured out why HP does all these different NAS and special editions.
